Wikipedia on Mormonism in Finland posted:

Between 1948 and 1955, the Mormon Church microfilmed the church records of Finnish Evangelical Lutheran and Orthodox congregations back to 1860. The recording covered about 20 million pages.

Gotta admit that's an admirable feat for such a minuscule cult here.

the "find a celebrity posting that they dont want the mark and check the replies" method for finding blue checks to block is already paying dividends. I'm seeing "this tweet is from an account you blocked" a bunch on threads I never visited before!

oh, I don't usually interact with these types of people on twitter. I mostly just follow artists and my friends. but as I said in a previous post I'm finding the process of mass blocking people who are very desperate for attention quite satisfying

my prediction: after enough prominent people grumble enough, elon will change the wording of the "twitter blue" description to merely IMPLY that the user voluntarily subscribed. Like "this user is verified because they HAVE a twitter blue account! click HERE to subscribe!"

Elon finding any avenue possible to get government money

edit: Christ it reminds me of back when I read the freep thread and we'd follow their donation drives where they would scam fellow old folks out of their social security payments by pretending the website needed to bring in $400K a year or else it would have to shut down when anyone will a hair of technical knowledge could guess they weren't spending more than like $300/no max to keep the servers running

Like what the gently caress does he think that $8 is actually buying?

16 followers. 8 American flags as a profile. Nearly 1% of his monthly income given to a piece of poo poo. Like people are right, someone walking on a banana, slipping and dying is the greatest joke. I just wasn't expecting half a goddamn country.

Just like how he ruined hundreds of millions of dollars on his rocket destroying the launchpad and itself thanks to his nonstop terrible management decisions. Nobody has ever done this before, you have to learn to walk before you run.

They interpret famous and successful people having the check mark as the check mark making people famous and successful. They have been taught that by brands since they are children. Clearly they should be able to buy the check mark and people not allowing them to do so are trying to ruin them. :suicide: It's a cargo cult.

so the launch mount is still standing and looks sorta superficially intact, but it can't really be of any further use, right? this is a situation where you have to raze everything down to the dirt and start over?

I'm convinced he doesn't actually pay for other peoples' checkmarks. He just opens a pop-up window, adds the checkmark and then goes on.

a bunch of them feel like Elon is Taking A Stand in a World Gone Woke Mad and their paying of $8 supports this endeavor. apparently. their check is…a virtue signal, so to speak

others think it’s funny that those hoity toity celebrities think the blue check mark is degrading, and punishing your ideological enemies, those stuck up elites, by doing things they don’t want done to them is great fun

Charging $1000 a month for news and government to have a gold star is still the funniest thing of Musk's Twitter. And he's just going to give conspiracy weirdos that gold star for free.

I remember a Savage Love column from way, way back where a woman in college wrote in because she thought of herself as straight but had a massive crush on Teegan and wanted help navigating her newfound bisexuality. Dan was nice enough to reach out to Teegan to have her answer the letter and it was :3:
